What is eBOL?
The uShip eBOL (electronic Bill of Lading) provides a digital Bill of Lading that is consistent, instantly uploaded and secure. Managed via the uShip app or driver web links, eBOL provides written and visual documentation to ensure a better shipping experience for all involved.
The goal of eBOL is accountability for everyone involved in a shipping transaction. Not only does instant-access proof of delivery make life easier and more efficient for carriers, it also offers peace of mind for the shipping customers who rely on them. Carriers can give access to eBOL on a shipment-by-shipment basis to their drivers, allowing electronic documentation without the need for uShip access or setup processes.
At Pickup
Drivers will add notes on the condition of the shipment at pickup either from the uShip app or their mobile browser. They will then show you, or your pickup contact, the information collected before asking for your signature. If signatures cannot be obtained at the point of pickup or delivery, eBOL can still be completed.
At Delivery
Drivers will add any relevant notes once more at delivery. They will then show you, or your delivery contact, the information before asking for the delivery signature. You can review all the information collected at this point, but once both signatures have been completed, the eBOL cannot be edited.
After Delivery
After finalizing the delivery, a PDF copy of the eBOL will be available to both the authorized carrier and the uShip customer via the Shipment Listing view in their uShip app. This digital copy will be stored on the listing; however, we advise that you download and save the PDF for your own records.
